PERPETUAL ACCOUNT

The Vantage Perpetual Account is a dedicated Cryptocurrency CFD trading account, designed for traders who want focused access to digital asset markets. It offers flexible position management, competitive pricing, and supports trading 24/7 on a wide range of crypto pairs.

Unlike other account types, the key point of difference is its fee structure. Instead of traditional swap charges, the Perpetual Account applies a funding rate mechanism — a transparent cost model that reflects the price dynamics of underlying spot and futures markets.

This funding rate ensures traders can have a clearer view of trading costs while maintaining positions continuously.

When contracts without a delivery period continue trading, a funding rate is introduced to help align the prices of spot and futures markets.

• If the funding rate is positive, traders holding long positions pay short positions.
• If the funding rate is negative, traders holding short positions pay long positions.

This mechanism ensures that contract prices remain consistent with the underlying spot market, while providing transparency around ongoing trading costs.

To clarify how the Perpetual Account differs from other account types, see the comparison below:

Example: If you close your position before the charge time (e.g. at 01:59), you won’t be charged a funding fee.
